DAY 28 - 15-02-2009 - BANGKOK STILL

Met Sophie and few of the boys@ Siam station and went on the Mo Chit on the skyrail. Went to Chatachuk weekend market. 8,000 stalls selling everything from T-shirts - triangular pillows - Antique amulets. Very Busy and sweaty.

Heather and me left everyone to go to the train station to book a sleeper to Surat Thani. We'd been warned by various guide book to be aware of people trying to sell you trips. As we approached the station, as of on cue, a very friendly lady asked if she could help. She said she was from T.A.T. the officail travel agent in Bangkok. She went through our palns and gave us loads of information then took us away from the station to book the tickets, syaing that the train station cant book us the bus and ferry tickets we would need to get to the Island. We must have walked for about 5 mins before Heather turned us around and we left her.

Naturally we could and did buy the train, bus and ferry tickets we needed to get to Ko Samui. I think one of the things that made unsure of her 'official' status was instead of her badge saying T.A.T. it said T.I.T seriously!!!!!!!!
